KBCO (97.3 FM) will release Vol 26 of its annual Studio C charity CD on Dec. 6. The annual disc includes performances from the Boulder studios, this year including EdSheeran, The Lumineers, American Authors and Lana Del Rey. Once again, proceeds go to Food Bank of the Rockies. the limited edition recording will be available at Whole Foods Markets.

There are several good reasons to check out KBCO’s Studio C Volume 24, on sale this weekend and available as a giveaway to listeners around the clock and via social media.

There’s the under-produced version of Mayer Hawthorne’s “The Walk” (in which he laments “your crummy freakin’ attitude…,” cleaned up for the radio audience). Plus The Lumineers doing “Ho Hey,” Mumford & Sons on “I Will Wait” and 16 other new, live, in-studio recordings.

The best reason to pick it up, as always, is the fact that proceeds from sale of the CD ($13 or so) will benefit the Boulder County AIDS Project and Food Bank of the Rockies. More info and the track listing is available at the KBCO website.
